What happened in Atlanta is the inevitable end result of "conservative" pro business policies. They attracted large corporations which attracted lots of left leaning transplants. If Cobb had the demographics of 1994, it would still be red.
No need to put “conservative” in quotes there ... those policies were clearly conservative.
Yes. Young professionals moving to metro areas for “corporate” opportunities aren’t some inherently liberal demographic. In fact, the types moving to the suburbs of Atlanta in the 1990s would be in their 50s now and are likely Republicans and certainly were then, probably through the early 2000s at least. It’s OUR fault we aren’t appealing to this type of voter who should naturally favor a conservative party ... the fact we are not anymore does not redefine “conservatism.”
